Day out to St Ives

St Ives, Harden Nr Bingley

There are lots of things to do in Bingley, one of the best places to go for a day out, particularly in summer, is St Ives estate.  There is an amazing adventure playground with a sandpit complete with diggers, a shake shake bridge that moves up and down, a sort of walk on xylophone and of course a zip wire.

 There are also various other things there like a big horse riding place and a golf course. All in all it is pretty lovely. There are plenty of free places to park and lots of places to have a family picnic.  There is a large lake with duck feeding points and a pushchair friendly walk on pretty flat paving all the way round. There is also a nice cafe where you can sit outside and in, having a relaxing latte.  If you walk round on the various routes round the estate you can also find the famous statues like the one in the picture above. It's a lovely place for a day out with the family, or just out walking alone through the bluebells in spring. Beautiful.
